Staalkat International joins the SANOVO family

To fulfill the increasing demands of the
customers for equipments and services in the egg laying, handling and processing
industry Staalkat International has joined the SANOVO family.

The announcement was made by Mr. Thor Stadil, president of Sanovo
Engineering, at VIV Europe 2006 on May 16.

Staalkat - established in
1956 and celebrating its 50th anniversary this year - has been one of the market
leaders in egg grading and packing in the period since establishment. "In the
present global market a global presence is vital, and therefore we decided to
team up with a partner in order to increase the speed of market penetration,"
said Staalkat MD Pedro Wiggers.

Having representations in the major
egg producing and consuming markets SANOVO Engineering has realised the need to
supply a wide range of products not only for the egg processing industry, but
also for the complimentary egg packing and grading industry.

"This
makes Staalkat and SANOVO Engineering a nice fit. By joining forces we expect
sustainable competitive advantages for both companies as well as for their
customers. The companies combined are now the worlds only turnkey suppliers of
egg packing, grading, breaking and further processing equipment distributed
through a global sales and service network," Stadil said.
